Aldrick Robinson, Marquise Goodwin--our deep threats

Victor Bolden? Ellington can't really be counted on, who knows.

Maybe Hikutuni or Kyle Juszczyk (goddam that was hard to spell) will fill that X factor role?

Shanny'll make it work I'm sure.

What do you all think

Kittle is going to surprise with his 4.5 speed at TE.

Pierre Garcon will be the new ABoldin and always have to be accounted for by defenses.

Also I think Jus will cause defenses fits.

Yea hopefully those guys stay healthy. We prob only need one if we have both Kittle and Cole on the field. Maybe Bolden has as good a chance to make the team as Cole tho lol, who knows.

Either way putting a James Washington in there with a Kirk Cousins could be deadly deep passing o.

I almost feel spoiled having 2-3 guys with serious speed lol. There's been some yrs here we didnt have any. I think Goodwin is gonna have a breakout yr for us.

I think Goodwin is a wildcard. He can play the "Buffalo never utilized me" woe-is-me card for about one month. After that, his true colors will come through for better or worse.

I'm surprised so many people penciled Robinson in to the 53 man roster so quickly. He definitely has a chance to make the team. But I don't think there's anything about his signing that puts him above Taylor, Ellington, Kerley, or anybody else trying to be a #3 - #5 receiver for this team. He's just a guy in the mix like everybody else.

That said -- if Shanahan can get Goodwin to be a 900+ yard receiver with Brian Hoyer at QB I will question the need to spend mega money on FA WRs. Would be a nice problem to have. I can easily see Shanahan (with time) creating a system where we have three guys hovering around 900 yards, but no true 1,400 yard monster.

Hope Hoyer can get em the ball

Like them both and hope they can combine for 13-1500+ combined hopefully. I like Bolden as a deep threat and love his KR ability. Those two factors alone could get him the 6th spot. Pulling for Smelter/Ellington a lil too doe.
